You are invited to a decadent masquerade held by the enigmatic House Dracul, a noble bloodline whispered about in the darker corners of Eldara. The promise: rare wines, opulent company, and untold favors. But beneath the velvet and candlelight lies a chilling truth—this is no celebration. It is a ritual. And you are not a guest... You are the offering.

As the hour grows late, the party will become a massacre—each guest marked for death in the most depraved game of entertainment murder. Will you uncover the secrets of the Dracul estate that enable your escape, or will you become part of the feast?
